Saigon Hash next run 1555 The Scholarly Run

Hello ,

Our next Run 1555 The Scholarly Run

Day: Sunday

Date: 21/06/2020

This week’s run will be an A to B run all the way from Long Tan to Nhon Tract. There will be a beer stop to ensure refreshment on the arduous journey, with plenty of shade and interesting byways. Expect a lot of twists and turns on this adventure with a fast finish for the FRBs. The hares for the trail are I Choked Linda Lovelace and Sexy Eyes. 

Make sure you are at  the Caravelle before 2 pm (14h00) or you will find that the bus has already left. There will be a D2 pickup from two bus stops along the south side of the Hanoi Highway, one opposite the Thao Dien Rd. and the other in front of Estella Heights. Bus arrives there at about 2.15 pm so aim to be there before 2:10 pm (14:10).

News from your GM

Well last week was a very wet run but this was not enough to dampen our spirits and, despite a number of Hashers frequently disappearing from sight as they went down in the mud, everyone made it back safely. A number of different trails appeared to have been followed with Hashers coming back from all directions although a few did managed to find the correct trail and everyone had fun. I would like to thank In and Out for all her work organising and then reorganising her co-hares and Easy In, Easy Out for stepping in at the last minute to ensure the runners were OK. You did a great job ladies

The Binh Duong "Almost a Hash Away" is still being planned for the weekend of the 27- 28 June. The normal Saigon Hash will run on the Sunday with the Hash bus and keen Hashers will have the opportunity to run on the Saturday with the Binh Duong Hash and then spend Saturday night exploring the night life of Binh Duong. More details will be posted next week so you had better get booking those hotels.

I would like to wish Happy Flasher a speedy recovery, she injured herself in the line of duty whilst off scouting for possible Hash Away locations. Her sacrifice is appreciated!

This week promises to be another great run courtesy of I Choked Linda Lovelace. He even got the hoe out on the recce to ensure the trail was freshly turned. 

That's all for this week,

On on

Thanks to our Sponsors

We are grateful for the support of our sponsors and in turn ask our hashers to support them.

All current, past and future Hashers and their guests are welcome to the Hash Hump. There are two of these amazing events to attend every week. The first one is on Tuesday evening from 8:00 pm at O'Briens (74A3, Hai Bà Trưng, District 1) when you will also be able to listen to the dulcet tones of Just Add Beer and his friends. The second will be on Wednesday evening from 5:00 pm at Le Bacoulos (13 Tong Huu Dinh, Thao Dien, District 2). Attendance at both is always an acceptable option!

The Hump is a Saigon Hash event, designed to break the long period between Hash runs. There are no rules, so you can call Hashers by their name or Hash handle, drink with your left hand or right hand, stand or sit in a circle, semi-circle, ellipse or square and no need to sit on ice if you arrive after the started start time. In short, the Hump will be easy and relaxed and everybody is welcome.

Last week's Run Report

Run Report 1554

Sunday 14th June 2020

Let’s walk dirty.

Location:Thanh Hoi Island

Despite the persistent rain we set off at 14.02 from Caravelle and prayed for the rain to stop but we are such miserable sinners that our prayers went unanswered. 

Hares: A litany of hares- we were promised, but only In and Out and Easy In Easy Out delivered. 

SoreArse - enjoyed the walk in this green and pleasant land- she likes the dykes; the bit of wall and the slippery bits but mostly she was grateful to have her trainers cleaned. Plus 5! Fukcoffee- less impressed- “Excrement!” he proclaimed and indeed some of it may well have been. The paper had dissolved; runners were lost and length was an issue for Fukcoffee. Nevertheless, he enjoyed the playground and the flat terrain and awarded minus 9.6. 

RA- Broken Seal  welcomed the Virgins- Carly from Australia came because of technology; Nghia from Binh Duong came because of Luciano who has been very busy as Tony and Angie also came because of him- and Angie is his sister.

Returners- Luciano was too busy; Khoi, Ha-thought it was too far- and Merci Beaucoup blamed Covid.

Here beginneth the charges: 

Flusher and Sonic BoomBoom were both held responsible for Flasher’s bike accident. Sonic BoomBoom refused to travel to Muine so Flusher took his place. He was such a distraction on the bike that Flasher went tits up.. Unable to Hash. Phucoffee charged Merci Beaucoup and Wanker Banker for being vertically challenged and failing to remain in that plane during the run. ( See what I did there?) Gobbler, although very grateful to have been helped across the gaping canyons and led back safely, if off trail, also had to endure an hour of constant whining from ICLL. Fukcoffee kept ICLL in the circle and accused him of playing astronauts in his moon boots- methinks less an astronaut- more a space cadet. Shithouse presented EasyIn EasyOut with her T-shirt to mark her first Hare Set and TurnOff in a rare moment of sincerity, and congratulated EIEO for a great first set.  InandOut must be balding as she lost three Hares during the making of this Hash- but actually it was brilliant. 

SH charged PediaPrick, and Ben with being in a “clique” and “Parlaying” en French. SH then charged Merci Beaucoup with delaying the prompt departure of the bus; which was 2 minutes late because Fukcoffee was fiddling with the Driver. 

Flusher charged MerciBeauCul being employed by some airline which has now delayed his departure flight three times. TurnOff accused Tootsie of trying too hard to keep his hair dry- unsuccessfully. The great news is that we have the horn! Apparently it went missing in March 2019 but has now been returned. A great blow job! SH announced the news from under a VietJet Umbrella and so was charged by Merci Beaucoup.

Next week- Long Tan to  Nhon Trach

Haberdasher asked for T-shirt designs to be submitted. 

There are Humps nearly every day - namely Tuesday D1 O’Brien’s 8pm

And Weds. D2 5pm. 

Gobbler- signing off! Did you spot the Derek and Clive references?

News from the Hash world

Nothing interesting to report. It seems all news is coming from our own Saigon Hash.
